The event, said CMP and co-organiser Connection events, will extend the work done at next month's GDC08 in San Francisco and will also build on the groundwork done by Lyon GDC in December.

"We were delighted with the success of the first French GDC held in 2007 and are confident that Paris GDC will bring together even more talented developers from around the world, now in a more central location and the home of the biggest development studios in the country," noted Pierre Carde, executive director of Paris GDC 08.
